This new art guide contains all the essential and interesting information about the cultural and architectural treasures of the Canton of Zurich. The content is based on Volume 1 of the art guide to Switzerland, published in 2005 by the Society for Swiss Art History. The well-known concise descriptions, numerous black-and-white illustrations, local maps, and charts of this compact handbook cover everything from archaeological finds to castles and churches of the Middle Ages, as well as the current urban development in Zurich North, spanning all epochs and areas of the canton. New features include representations of individual objects supplemented by large-format color images and a series of thematic texts on special aspects of Zurich's art history, such as half-timbered buildings in the wine region, Zurich guilds and their architectural representatives, or 20th-century sculpture in public spaces.
